a different 3L, but happy to answer. Experience last year was that the day after the interview was the most likely CB contact date. Obviously there will be outliers (as the above postings suggest), but I got most of my CBs from Wednesday firms on Thursday.

Do they call during the day? Or after 5:39 when our Thursday interviews are done? Also does this mean Friday interviews will wait until Monday? Will they call on the weekend?

Thank you for your help!

There is a good chance that you will get calls from yesterday's firms during the day (that's what happened to me last year). For today's firms, I would imagine 9-10pm is fair game if they're giving day-of notice, and then same rule applies for calling tomorrow during the day if CBs are not happening tonight.

IIRC, Friday firms are more inclined to try to get the CBs out by the end of the day of Friday. I remember getting quite a few calls from Friday firms after getting home. Of course, that doesn't mean that not hearing from a Friday firm on a Friday mean that you're out - so don't go there!

All of this to say -- make sure your phones are on silent during your Doubletree hours! Good luck!

I just did it and felt so bad about it, but I was told to call back immediately and didn't have time to go back down before the next interview. It's so awkward and awful though and I don't want people to know I'm getting something and feel bad. Not totally sure how to manage this stuff to be quite honest.

Side note: I think hall way calls are acceptable. The elevators are crazy, people want to get the call into recruiting asap and the stairs are brutal. It sucks watching people make calls when you aren't getting them but we are all adults.
